Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab Unboxing

We got our hands on Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy Tab on Friday and wanted to take you through a quick unboxing of it before we really dive in deeply and help you decide if this should be your big holiday purchase. After just a few minutes of time with it, we’re definitely pleased, but we have a long way to go before we can give you a thumbs up or down. And of course, this will be followed up by a full review, some tricks you’ve already started to see and so much more.

The applications look great on the screen and it is so much more enjoyable to surf the web and check e-mails on this than on my 4″ Fascinate screen.Thanks for the information on blog. This information made my study easier.

Well the Fascinate screen looked huge compared to the OG Droid and now I think both of them look tiny compared to my Galaxy Tab. Anyone who thinks a Droid X is almost the same size is nuts.This is a really excellent read for me.Thanks for posting this informative article.

I purchased my Samsung Galaxy Tab from Verizon. I just want to tell you guys that I am very appreciative now in the future for your posts on this device. It has already helped me learn more about my new purchase. Thank you, thank you!!!

whoops…meant to say “now AND in the future”. Had jury duty all day and my brain is gone!

I'd love to get one of these, but for the price, its stupid not to get the ViewSonic gTablet or the Archos 101, unless you want built in 3G. I'll just tether it to my phone.

To echo some others. There is just no way I can justify the price.

Biggest phone EVAR!?!?! I wish it could be used as a phone. Then I would want one so bad.

As someone who actually owns one of these I can say it is pretty bad-ass. The applications look great on the screen and it is so much more enjoyable to surf the web and check e-mails on this than on my 4″ Fascinate screen. I used to think that my Fascinate screen looked huge compared to the OG Droid and now I think both of them look tiny compared to my Galaxy Tab. Anyone who thinks a Droid X is almost the same size is nuts.

Hey Kellex where can I get the Icon for this Launcherpro that you have on your DX and this new Galaxy Tab?

Kellex, what class SD card came with it, makes a pretty big difference to loading speeds, especially photos and vids.

175.00 tops no more. its just greed

I'd pay around $300-350 for it, they should be the price of (quality) netbooks.

You're aware that MSRP on your phone is like $550, and that carriers subsidize the other $350, right? And this has over three times the screen real estate as your phone? And you're expecting it to be CHEAPER than the SUBSIDIZED version of your phone? The materials themselves cost over $200… Yeah, to you even trying to break even is “greed”

hmm, ill end up buying 1 even though its way over priced…need a laptop for college. thank you tuition $ =D

Take it from me, a tablet wont work for taking notes in college you'll hate it. Get a netbook, and to tell you the truth its actually kind of hard to take notes in all your classes on a laptop. I was surprised that when I came to college the majority of people were still using pen and paper.

Think about it from a logical point of view: try writing down a complex biology diagram with pen and paper, then think about doing it with a computer, during the lecture, while the professor keeps going on about stuff. Its not easy, trust me I've been there. I sold my first laptop after 6 months of college cuz I didnt use it at all, I had a desktop.

Looks nice, just still trying to figure out where this would fit in terms of actually using it.

Agreed, I have a netbook which takes over most of my “leisure surfing” but some times its a pain in the ass when youre laying down and wanna type and see the screen at the same time, a tablet solves that problem!

This is so sweet, if the mobile hotspot app is free on it, I will more than likely be getting this after Christmas.

Programmer112

If its a “Verizon” tethering app it will most likely be the regular fee for tethering which i think is like $10/month

rayz336

I thought the same thing, but I asked one of the online reps and they said it was free, but I would like further confirmation.

My friend and I were talking about this and he was thinking about selling his EeePC and getting an android tablet, meanwhile I was thinking about adding a tablet to my tech arsenal lol

I could see where a tablet would replace a netbook, but it depends on what you use the netbook for, if you just use it for surfing the web/checking email/watching various types of media then i think a tablet would be a great replacement. If you’re like me and use your netbook for other things then I wouldn’t see it as a replacement. I can’t see myself taking notes in class on a tablet or writing a java program on one lol

FIrst Ha, Can't wait for the MOTOPAD lol, what a name so far. 2011 will be known as the year of the Droid 🙂
